REASONS FOR CANCELLATION of AGREEMENT

Non-payment of fees

Uncooperative parent or guardians

Failure of child to attend more than two weeks without notification

A sole and unrestricted decision (after a two-week trial enrollment) that it is not in the best interest of our program or your child to continue enrollment.

30-Day notice by parent or guardian of the intent to withdraw child

A serious illness that prevents a child from participating in the program.​

MERCY'S GARDEN ADHERES TO THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:

Parents will be told in advance, when possible, if a substitute will be taking care of their child due to a teacher's illness or emergency.

Parents are always welcome to visit the classroom as a guest or for silent observation. We have an open-door policy and are free most afternoons if you would like to schedule a conference to go over your child's progress.

​

REGARDING COMMUNICATION

All pertinent information will be shared via group text and a monthly newsletter. (Make sure your phone allows for group text and remember: Please do NOT respond to the group. If your response is required, please send it to 910.382.6096--as an individual.)

Avoid disseminating important information to staff during drop off and pick up. (Please send us a text, or if there is a situation that requires a more lengthy discussion, please make an appointment so that we can address issues and concerns when our attention will not be divided and the safety of the children not at risk.)

Parents are responsible for scheduling a conference to discuss a child's progress.

A healthful snack for the entire classroom for a full week (generally once every 16 weeks.) ​Our snack consists of fresh fruits and vegetables, cheese sticks, yogurt, dried fruits, or nuts. Ask for a complete list. We drink water only.

REGARDING CLOTHING

We allow the children to be independent as much as possible. Parents should make sure that all clothing is "child capable." Until you are willing to teach & allow them to tie, no laces. Jeans are cute but are not always comfortable while your child is working on the floor. Onesies are not easily removed for your potty training toddlers. Fancy flip flop don't climb the rock wall safely. --And if you don't want it stained, don't wear it to school. We paint and play with clay, mud, and sand daily!

PARENTS or GUARDIANS AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING:

Sick children should be kept home. (Please call and let us know when your child is sick.)

Ill or injured children will be picked up as soon as possible after you receive our call.
